I Wish I Had Words
I wish I had words that could take away the pain of a broken heart.
I wish I had words that could reduce a parent’s fear when they hand the car keys to their teenager for the first time.
I wish I had words to assure the wife whose husband suffered a heart attack that he would be okay.
I wish I had words to comfort the little boy who just learned that his parents are getting a divorce.
I wish I had words that could settle the arguments and resolve the conflicts between the political factions within our government.
I wish I had words to calm the tension between husbands and wives and parents and children.
I wish I had words to convince people that we will be alright no matter how much confusion and unrest there is in the world.
I wish I had words to encourage the discouraged, comfort the hurting,
I wish I had words to the skeptic that God is real and loves us all.
I wish I had words to relieve your guilt, accept His forgiveness, and restore your joy.
I wish I had words to do all those things, but I don’t. So, I will remind you of Jesus’ words.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
